General Discussion / Re: "Text" window size
Last post by fathafluff -
A different topic on this: I assume there would be no easy to do this, but it would be nice if the font could be changed within a line. This would allow you to italicize a word within a title, copyright line, or any other text. I don't know how it would be implemented: Perhaps %font:fontname% (eg. %font:StaffItalic%.. The fontname could be the actual font name (StaffSymbols, Uset1, or any of the 14 names in the font list.  Or an abbreviation (SS, SC, etc.). I don't know what would happen is a font name was not recognized. I also don't know if the Font Size should also be included in-line.

The problem with the "line break" (or next line) still needs to be solved without resorting to the infamous %br%. But it's not a big problem.
Hi Lorenzo,
I hate to break it to you, but %br% IS the only mechanism for PageTxt.nw to start a new line.  By design, it doesn't recognise any other kind of line break.
FYI, %br% wasn't even included in the original release of PageTxt.nw, it was added later.

Thanks, David.
In a personal conversation, Flurmy had already suggested this excellent solution, which I've already tried successfully. I used Notepad: write the text and then copy/paste it into PageTxt --> Text. The problem with the "line break" (or next line) still needs to be solved without resorting to the infamous %br%. But it's not a big problem.
Have a good day.
Lorenzo

Potresti provare a digitare i tuoi lunghi testi in un altro programma, poi copiarli/incollarli in quel piccolo campo di testo (finestra). Accetterà almeno 410 caratteri – è quanti ne ho inseriti proprio ora. Sono molti di più di quelli che possono stare su una sola riga della tua pagina stampata.

You might try typing your long lyrics in another programme, then copy/paste them into that little Text field (window).   It will accept at least 410 characters - that's how many I entered just now.  It's many more than will fit on one line on your printed page

Ciao Flurmy
Eh no, è proprio la dimensione del testo da scrivere, non di quello visualizzato nello spartito. Me ne farò una ragione  :( .
Oh no, it's the size of the text to be written, not the one displayed in the score. I'll get over it

Eeeh? Hai problemi di vista? (Che poi la riga "text" ha le stesse dimensioni delle altre.  :) )
Se invece ti riferisci al risultato dell'operazione, cioè al testo visualizzato, allora basta aumentare "font size", come dice la parola stessa... in foresto.  :D

(Sorry for the non Italian speaking people, but, while answering, I'm also kidding Lorenzo...)

General Discussion / "Text" window size
Last post by lawrroc -
Good morning, I'm transcribing many old folk songs from my region. The lyrics are often in dialect, with terms that are now obsolete. I use Page Text (with Page Text Maestro). I'm wondering if it's possible to increase the size of the "Text" window, and therefore the text as well, as in the "lyric" text entry window.
Thank you.
Lorenzo

There is a user object which will do what you want, called CueHeads.ms.  You place a copy of the object at the start of the staff that contains the notes that you wish to have smaller noteheads. Then, on the desired notes, you change the notehead to a Blank Space. The object will automatically find the notes with the blank noteheads and draw in a smaller notehead. The properties of the CueHeads.ms object will let you specify the size of the cue noteheads. It defaults to 70% of a full size notehead.

To change the specific noteheads to blank space noteheads, do the following:
  • With nothing selected, hover over the notehead with the cursor.
  • Right-click and choose Noteheads > Blank Space.

You will probably want to manually adjust the stem length of the notes with smaller noteheads. If you are using split stem chords, this might be a problem because Noteworthy Composer doesn't let you set the stem lengths of the up and down notes individually. It might work best to have those notes on a layered staff.

I am sorry it has taken me so long to look at this. I replied to your second response.

I just tried the Cue Heads object. This is awesome. I have several songs that I need that feature.

Thank you for helping me with this.
